Give Angela Bassett All the Awards for This Shakespeare Monologue

Watching Angela Bassett as Lady Macbeth is basically a religious experience. In an interview with TheRoot.com, the American Horror Story star is prompted to give a few lines from any monologue she remembers. Because she's an Actress with a capital A, Bassett opts for a full-fledged speech from Act 1, Scene 7 of Macbeth. She co-starred with Alec Baldwin in the stage production at the Public Theatre back in 1998. Yup, 18 YEARS ago! Watch the crazy incredible way she switches in and out of character in milliseconds, above.
